Great to see this piece out! Drawing on her PhD research, Yihan Yan shows how media discourses shape views of dog ownership in Chinese cities + how it becomes a problem to be managed. Really interesting work on more-than-human geographies & the right to the city!

Orbán came in on a landslide and he’s going out on one. So much work to rebuild what these last 16 years have crushed, but this is a great night for Hungary.

Anyone remember ZNET? Back in the mid 2000s I wrote a number of articles there on South Korea about migrant labour, precarious work, free trade agreements, and more. They were offline for years and I didn't save any copies. The site is back up so I've downloaded them and put them up on academia.

Coupang has been flying an American flag of convenience and cosying up to MAGA. The latest salvo is a letter cosigned by 56 Republicans. Is this the new shape of globalization: Maga-adjacent geopolitical positioning to leverage the US state to help protect domestic tech monopoly rents back home?
